Analytics: what 11 tools cost

Measuring what happened — traffic, events, funnels and the reporting built on them. Every price is the plan a buyer actually lands on to get this capability — not the headline figure on the pricing page, and not the free tier that leaves it out.

This page compares what each tool does and what it costs. It does not name a winner: picking one honestly needs a researched verdict for every option, and the corpus does not carry those yet — so nothing here is ranked by anything but price.

When these prices change, we send a note

Vendors change plans and quietly move capabilities between tiers. We re-read the terms and send one note a week with what moved — including analytics.

One note a week, every figure dated and linked to its source. Unsubscribe in one click; we never sell or share the address.
